holy cow cm Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Good scam on an innocent gal. They shocked/stunned her and won out of her palpitations. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Dude Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Amazing that a factory worker had so much money just sat around in her account and she was ready to just fire it off at a moments notice...blimey.

scoutman360 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I have some very close Thai female friends. Normal locals girls. I have heard more than once that it is normal for a Thai girl (even in the office job industry), to have saved 100k thb. However, speaking of 334k thb, I cannot comment.

champers Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Maybe the lady has inherited money or sold some land. I find it odd that someone saving up for years would part with those savings quite so easily. I guess it is someone who knows she had recently come into money.

neeray Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Why so many rude comments about where the factory worker's savings came from? There could be any number of plausible explanations. Cynicism is definitely rife on ThaiVisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I won't be too hard on the lady, even experienced professionals get caught up in the moment. If you are not aware of these types of cons it is easy to be taken unawares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lady has been careful with her earnings she could easily accumulate this amount over a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I missed that one. thanks for the heads up. With some of the knuckleheaded posts on this forum its too easy for me to credit authors with actuslly having such beliefs.

ClutchClark Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 5 hours ago, Just Weird said: Maybe you should read the post that I was responding to then you would understand what I said and the context; there was nothing heartless about it. My comment was supporting the woman! Just to help you out here is post#3 to which I was responding..."It's amazing that a factory worker had B300,000 lying around in order to participate in this scam. what returns was she promised, I wonder?" One can only hope that you learn to read a little better. I was going to offer you a apology but you finished out your post with way too much <deleted> for that to happen.

bendejo Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I have "bill collectors" in the US who call my mobile phone number and threaten me about action they will take. They say they represent my mobile carrier and that I owe due to a breach of contract or something. Well, my mobile service is pre-paid, and these bozos don't even know my name. When someone calls and asks you to put out money, they are someone trying to get money, no more to it. The song and dance may vary, but that's what it is. Side note to Prince Khalasa: I'm still waiting for that US$350,000 check, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
